At a Glance: Twinaxial cable to connect switches, routers and other networking devices Transmits data at up to 40 gigabits per second Convenient hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors Meets SFF-8431 specification KEY FEATURES: 1. Passive twinaxial cable 2. QSFP+ connectors 3. SFF-8436 ESTABLISH HIGH-SPEED DATA CONNECTIONS Connect switches, routers and other devices within your computer network using the Belkin QSFP+ 40GBASE Passive Twinaxial Cable. This cable features 40 Gigabit Ethernet technology and can transmit Ethernet frames at speeds of up to 40 gigabits per second. QUICK DEPLOYMENT WITH SFP+ CONNECTORS For fast setup, this QSFP twinaxial cable features a QSFP+ connector on each end. QSFP+ transceivers support data transmission rates of up to 40 gigabits per second and are hot-pluggable, so they can be added or removed without powering down the system. PASSIVE TWINAXIAL CABLE FOR TRANSMITTING DATA The QSFP+ connectors are joined by a copper passive twinaxial cable that is suitable for short-range signaling applications. Unlike active twinaxial cables that contain electronic components to enhance signal quality, passive cables are typically short and mainly contain a wire. MEETS INDUSTRY STANDARDS The QSFP+ 40GBASE Passive Twinaxial Cable meets the SFF-8436 specification, which defines the electrical, optical and mechanical characteristics of QSFP+ modules and direct-attach cable plugs and connectors. Package Includes: QSFP+ 40GBASE Passive Twinaxial Cable.
